Wow old man Murray embarrassed you guys. You guys ate up the self deprecating humor and he gets a 1st and dumps legwand.

Murray gets a remarkable amount of undeserved shit.

He's the Quenneville of GMs!

If it's a first from DAL, SJ, or FLA, that means it's one of:

9th
11th
12th

That's...pretty good. If it's ONLY the pick, that's a tough call. Talbot does need to be replaced, after all.

If you can get 9, 11, or 12 for Talbot, you take it and run.

Personally I wouldn't complain if I got a top 12 pick for Talbot. This year is a pretty good draft year.

As for Erik Condra, Murray says nothing new on that front -- even with money freed up from Legwand move.

Tallon isn't trading #11. Likely moving prospects.

If Talbot nets a higher pick than 21, I'll feel better.

That would be a crazy price to pay for a backup goalie. CRAZY. A late first round pick would be a nice pickup for an older, semi-proven backup goalie.

I can't believe it's one of those teams to be honest, if someone offered a 12th overall for Talbot you would have heard Sather screaming YES YES YES from Florida.

Dougie Hamilton to PHX for 3rd overall?

Murray will draft the next Alfredsson with the 21st and Cake Boss will still burn his house down.

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie 5m5 minutes ago
On other news, told that Marty St. Louis not ready to retire. May be some mutual interest in/from Devils, Penguins. Not coming back to NYR.

.

 

[Fei]

Regarding the rumor of Arizona trading #3 for Dougie Hamilton: Why would Boston trade Hamilton to move up and draft a defenseman? Makes no sense.

 

[Silexx]

Now that I think about it, I have to guess that the Sens might be looking to move up because they want Travis Konecny. Murray loves his local boys.

wut

If true, Murray should just from now on not make any moves until draft day. This is when he works best.

More capspace (Hanifin ELC)?

 

[Fei]

More capspace (Hanifin ELC)?

But Hamilton's really good. The kind of player you should be using your capspace on.

Still a rumour, but seems to be a lot of smoke: https://twitter.com/Aportzline/status/614483783379734529

If they're moving Lucic, why would they need to move Hamilton? He's a stud and a lot safer to bet on than Hanifin (as good as he looks).

 

[MetatronM]

.

No surprise here. The Devils are local enough for him to stay with his family, and the Pens seem to just want every half decent forward.

Maybe he can come back, but he sure looks like he just physically can't go, though. His explosive speed all but completely vanished around December, and his brain looked like it had fallen behind the speed of the game, too. He's a great guy to have around and be a mentor, but I'm really doubtful that he can be the player he actually wants to be anymore.

But who knows, the guy certainly puts in the effort.

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie 2m 2 minutes ago

Rangers have not been offered 9th, 11th or 12th overall pick straight up for Talbot. NYR would have to give up more...

Blech

 

[Tabris]

It's Oilers and Maple Leafs fans regularly scheduled christmas day!

 

[zroid]

More capspace (Hanifin ELC)?

still seems a bit of a hairy trade, but maybe Boston is genuinely afraid of an offer sheet they can't match. in that case it might make sense to trade him for a 3rd overall which is a much better pick than they'd get as compensation

But Hamilton's really good. The kind of player you should be using your capspace on.

also this but we have seen that the current Bruins management is a bit sketchy

Renaud Lavoie ‏@renlavoietva 35m35 minutes ago
#blackhawks are trying to trade Patrick Sharp, Kris Versteeg and Bryan Bickell to try to free up cap space. #tvasports

One Sharp please, hold the Versteeg and the Bickell.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Tincup signed for two more years. Now to work on Kopi.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I find it very hard to believe they'll trade Hamilton. He's basically Chara's successor.

Should clarify...also possibility that NYR would have to take on bad contract, for which they'd have no space to keep their team intact...

Blech

O'Neill and Hayes are playing the McKenzie hybrid rebuild clip again :lol

Hearing Penguins and Canadiens are teams in hottest pursuit of #Blackhawks' Patrick Sharp. Rangers have also made contact.

I should just take a nap and wake up at like midnight D:

Those poor sods. Hope you didn't expect too much from your AHL team Anaheim.

Also a bit late, but Ottawa easily won that Lehner deal.

I think Eakins is a good coach. He just had a really shitty team and management to deal with.

 

[Razorskin]

No Sharp pls

 

[MetatronM]

I'm not surprised we're interested, but I don't see how we could take on a $6m Patrick Sharp. Seems unlikely.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Blech

Nash + Talbot for Bolland and #11

 

[Silexx]

I know the Sens want to add a Top-6 forward, but from what I've been told they won't be in on Ryan O'Reilly.

So much for that rumour.

 

[Red_Man]

Lmao @ the idea of being offered the 12th pick for Talbot and not taking it and running. He's not even close to as good as Schneider, that would be such a heist. He's a nobody, 28 and played behind one of the best defensive teams in the league, give me a break.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Cool

I like it.

I would even like to see more NHL teams add little bits of extra detail to their sweaters. I've always liked the Alberta flag on the otherwise disgusting Flames kit.

 

[Pikma]

The shittiest city in sports + Dallas Eakins?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I think Eakins is a good coach. He just had a really shitty team and management to deal with.

I feel the Oilers regressed under his leadership. To me Eakins only further exacerbated the problems with the team.

 

[Red_Man]

This morning, mentioned LA interested in Lucic but couldn't make it work. Understand LA/BOS revisiting it this afternoon. We'll see.

......

One of biggest piece of shit players on one of biggest piece of shit teams. I shouldn't be surprised.

I love watching you all fap to these rumors.

Share the load!

 

[Smiley90]

Not gonna lie, Lucic and Burrows on the same line would be pretty fucking funny

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

I have no doubt whatsoever that Lucic is fine with going to Vancouver because Kesler is gone. I imagine other players feel the same.

However, how does Miller feel about playing on the same dude that went headhunting on him?

Got tired of trying to turn Kassian into Lucic so they figured they might as well just get him

we'll trade Miller, simple

Lucic on the Kings? Why are all the guys I hate wanting to come to my favorite team? Curse you best lawyers, beautiful socal women, and amazing weather 360 days of the year.
